frosty moustache were seen by
Joseph G. S. Blackburn's seat,
where he played with q ridiculous
derby hat and whispered to his sue
cessful rival for the Senate his hopes
of place on the interstate COM
merce commission. John =. Jones
looked surprised through his mass of
gray whiskers as he heard speaker
after speaker praise Logan's poverty.
Arthur p. German and Daniel w.
Voorhees, sat side by side, the FORM
er the cleanest cut face and figure
in the Senate, and the latter wrinkle
browed and growing portly. John
Davis Long stepped in the chamber
in sack coat and with derby hat in
bis hand, and quietly said "DawesT
Whereupon Massachusetts, senior
senator sprang from his seat, gave
the now smileless Hinghamite his
hand, which the latter held for q
minute, when the former put his
thumbs in his trousers pockets and
the winner and loser conversed
solemnly. When there was nothing
more to say Mr.. Dawes backed out
of the chamber through the middle
doors, and Mr.. Long went into the
Republican coat room, where half
dozen senators sat smoking and
gassing. Then Father-in-law Ran
dali came in and ran his searching,
peerless eye over the chamber.
When he had gone William Crown
ingshield Endicott, with one red

IN, shook hands with Wade Hamp-
ton, and strolled into the Democrat
tic cloak room.
The general behavior was not
much unlike that which character
ICES the average Sunday morning
congregation at church.
What kind of funeral sermons do
senators preach!
About the same as are daily heard
in rural meeting houses all over the
country. Very few spoke like sena-
tors, most of the speakers affecting
the affectations OF the parson, and
half dozen insisted on giving the
pricise dates of all the principal
events in the life of the dead man,
while mortuary commonplace ran
through the whole four hours SER
vice. All but two used manuscript.
Mr.. Cullom began the speechmaking
quite properly with q biographical
sketch, and Senator Morgan, speak
ing as one who for twenty-five years
stood in opposition to Logan, de-
clared that he had not gone to some
mythical land where his remarkable
energies are no longer of any use,
but was still serving great pur-
pose in the divine economy OF his
Creator. Charles +. Henderson
read his speech briskly and well,
praying that peace be with the desc
late widow, and Hampton, from the
standpoint of q Democrat and Con-
federate delivered a most kindly
address in the gentlest and bland
est manner. Senator Allison in his
remarks said something about the
Blaine and Logan campaign of 1884,
and said of the latter that the pub
lie examination of his past revealed
no shame. There was a significant,
not to say cruel, emphasis fon the
word "his," but /, can find no trace
of the sentiment in the Congress.

Mr.. Hummelshine, came, he showed
his feet back and ducked his head
forward as he sprang from his cane.
J bottomed and cane-backed chair.
Stepping between his desk and that
of Logan's, the senator from Yer.
mont caught his throat with his
right hand and then squeezed his
fists together as he began his speech.
Afterward, when he did not have
one hand spread out on Logan's
desk and the other doubled and
lying on his own desk, they were
held together before HIM. 1t was
strange to hear such an eminent an(
learned statesman repeating the
ignorant twaddle about England

The departed senator had in hin
